Spotted: Nippon N.S. Pro Modus3 LSL prototype shaft

Published

on

LSL stands for “lower spin and launch,” according to Nippon, and is the goal of its new prototype iron shafts we spotted on the range at the 2016 Safeway Open.

Nippon tells us the LSL is based on the company’s N.S. Pro Modus3 125. It has a similar smooth bend profile and is roughly the same weight (125 grams), but has been designed to create a flatter trajectory for players in need of such a flight.

In recent years, Nippon’s line of N.S. Pro Modus3 Tour iron shafts (105, 120, 125 and 130) and wedge shafts (105, 115 and 125) have become extremely popular on the PGA Tour, with a notable number of the world’s best switching into the shafts and racking up wins.

At this time, Nippon says the LSL is strictly a prototype, tour-only shaft. As always, we’ll be sure to keep you posted when we learn more. Until then, feel free to join the discussion in our forum thread for speculation and other commentary.

    The feel of Nippon shafts are special. I have Modus 3 in my clubs and they have been great.
    I do want to try the wedge shafts and see if they fit me.

    Seriously, stop Boom. Pointless comment. I think the shafts look nice and will fit a lot of players who wanted a heavier version of the 120.

    Can they lower my flight to 6 feet off the ground?

Spotted: Tommy Fleetwood’s TaylorMade Spider Tour X Prototype putter

Published

on

Tommy Fleetwood has been attached to his Odyssey White Hot Pro #3 putter for years now. However, this week at the Wells Fargo Championship, we did spot him testing a new putter that is very different, yet somewhat similar, to his current gamer.

This new putter is a TaylorMade Spider Tour X head but with a brand new neck we haven’t seen on a Spider before. A flow neck is attached to the Spider head and gives the putter about a 1/2 shaft offset. This style neck will usually increase the toe hang of the putter and we can guess it gets the putter close to his White Hot Pro #3.

Another interesting design is that lack of TaylorMade’s True Path alignment on the top of the putter. Instead of the large white center stripe, Tommy’s Spider just has a very short white site line milled into it. As with his Odyssey, Tommy seems to be a fan of soft inserts and this Spider prototype looks to have the TPU Pure Roll insert with 45° grooves for immediate topspin and less hopping and skidding.

The sole is interesting as well in that the rear weights don’t look to be interchangeable and are recessed deep into the ports. This setup could be used to push the CG forward in the putter for a more blade-like feel during the stroke, like TaylorMade did with the Spider X Proto Scottie Scheffler tested out.

Tommy’s putter is finished off with an older Super Stroke Mid Slim 2.0 grip in blue and white. The Mid Slim was designed to fit in between the Ultra Slim 1.0 and the Slim 3.0 that was a popular grip on tour.
